Just found an adorable new baby product...Bella Bottoms. They are reusable cloth diapers, but not the old school kind ...no diaper pins needed! I found a giveaway for them on a blog... http://yestheyareallmine.wordpress.com
Who knows, maybe Bob's luck of winning things will happen to me! I'll keep you posted...pun intended!
This Blog tells the story of a jewelry lady mommy and her sweet family as they journey together and have the blessing of Premier Designs in their Lives!

Recipe for the Popcorn
Well I meant to put this at the bottom of the previous post...but here it is for those who want to try my new marvelous discovery!
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
Brown paper lunch bag
2-3 tablespoons of melted butter (cooking oil works too)
Salt
Mix kernels, butter and salt together.Pour kernels into a small paper bag (standard lunch size is fine) and fold the top of the bag over three times tightly to close (each fold should be 1/2 inch deep; remember the kernels need room to pop).Place bag in microwave on carousel.Cook on high 2-3 minutes, or until the pops are 5 seconds apart!
For an extra special treat...add some M&M's...(another one of my new favs)
This is pennies compared to the already made Microwave popcorn and tastes better too!
Enjoy!

The Small Things in Life
Okay, so I've discovered a wonderful new snack, that I must share...HOMEMADE MICROWAVE POPCORN...and who knows maybe I'm the last to know about this, but just incase I'm not I wanted to share!
I've enjoyed this the past two days during "rest time" ...the boys do much better if I don't say nap time!
We found out today that "the Fletcher Funk", has a diagnosis...we all have RSV! Please be in prayer for the children, the boys seem to be feeling some better, but lil Chloe Laine is pitiful! Today and tomorrow should be the peak days for her symptoms so hopefully we will see improvement soon!
Earlier today we had group therapy...respiratory therapy that it is...I had us all on Breathing Tx's...per Dr's orders of course!
Well the timer just went off on the microwave...yep your right my popcorn is ready!

Counting it all Joy!
Blogworld...
The Fletchers have the funk...well especially the three children! Chloe's lil cough is just pitifulClark is stopped up and sounds quite nasal when he speaks and sings...earlier he and Harrison were singing the theme song from Cubbies...I love to hear them sing! Harrison's nose is the opposite...a running faucet of lemongrass green snot! Leave it to a former Respiratory Therapist turned Jewelry Lady to be so descriptive of snot. I bet the Doctor will appreciate the detail tomorrow!
I was feeling pretty rough when I got up this morning, but after resting some am feeling much better! Bob is just an absolute trooper...he has been pampering us all...I Love that man so much!
I don't want anyone to think I'm complaining! I don't know if it has come from the scripture memory I have been part of lately (partly I'm sure...the first part of the verse I'm memorizing now says do everything without complaining...say that to yourself several times and you really notice when you start complaining!) but through differents circumstances I've been thinking alot lately about perspective...yes I'm so sorry the children feel bad but so thankful that I have my three children, my man...a wonderful family all the way around! So I guess I would challenge everyone to try to not complain at all this week! To quote one of my favorite people...Choose Joy..choose it...in the midst of choosing Joy you'll spread it!

Drool, Baby, Drool!!!
As you may could've guessed, my baby girl is teething. I cannot believe how fast the time is going! Yesterday I took her for her sixth month check-up. She weighed in at 17 lbs. She is running a slight temp. but overall has done well with her shots. The best medicine so far has been her daddy's arms!
Clark and Harrison are each at my side right now...at their desks "working their business"... I think they fully understand "mommy's jewelry business"...later today (maybe tomorrow), I'm going to let them help me stamp catalogs...they love to stamp!!!
Yesterday we turned it the application for Clark to attend Kindergarten at Highland Christian Academy! Really hits me when I see this in Print!!! We've always prayed that there would be a way for him to go to Christian school and the Lord seems to be opening the doors! This is both a praise and a request!
Scripture Memory is going well...I've stuck to it!!! I'm now on my third verse for 2009! This has been such an amazing journey so far! Being able to wield the sword of scripture has been so helpful in the past couple of weeks. The two verses I've learned so far (Heb. 4:16 & 2 Tim. 1:7) have helped me so much...I'm so humbled by this experience, it's given me a new love for scripture and many verses I've read in a whole new light...verses I've read many times before, but now they've just come alive in a way like never before! I give all glory and credit to my Jesus, for I know this is not something I could ever do on my own!
I know its been a while since my last post...but this is one thing I want to have in my life that's not on a strict schedule...I'm not complaining by any means, I just want this to be something fun and enjoyable!
I'm also starting a blog for my Premier Designs downline...feel free to check it out! I'll let you know the name very soon!
Love.
